People that know me from elsewhere, know that the expression 'balsa boy' refers to my favourite wood for making slot car bodies.

Here are a few that have been made over the last few years. As I only race a couple of times a year, I usually make the cars for a particular even and so the chassis get removed and the bodies left orphaned.

               

The last couple of shots are for this year's Bordo event in June so they actually do run! I'm doing another one as well. I've started trying to use plasticard as well as balsa. The red/pink truck is all plasticard. The black one I'm doing now is plasticard with just the top of the body made from balsa. All the rest, including the wings are made from flat plastic. Quite fun.
